Cage The Elephant - Back Against the Wall lyrics
[Cage The Elephant - Back Against the Wall lyrics]
Tonight, I'll have a look and try
To find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again out back
A monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen, I've fallen to my knees
I said, you've got me where you want me
Again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these
Shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
Blanket of silence makes me want to
Sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence of fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains
Took a look into your eyes
My tongue has now become a
Platform for your lies
I said, you've got me where you want me
Again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these
Shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Deep in the jungle
Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky while, shamefully
I make my plea the altar's calling
But my legs won't seem to stand
Guess I'm a coward scared to
Face the man I am
I said, you've got me where you want me
Again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these
Shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
To find my face again
Buried beneath this house
My spirit screams and dies again out back
A monster wears a cloak of Persian leather
Behind the TV screen, I've fallen to my knees
I said, you've got me where you want me
Again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these
Shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
Blanket of silence makes me want to
Sink my teeth in deep
Burn all the evidence of fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains
Took a look into your eyes
My tongue has now become a
Platform for your lies
I said, you've got me where you want me
Again and I can't turn away
I'm hanging by a thread and
I'm feeling like I'll fall
I'm stuck here in between these
Shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Deep in the jungle
Camouflaged by all the fallen leaves
A hand holds up the sky while, shamefully
I make my plea the altar's calling
But my legs won't seem to stand
Guess I'm a coward scared to

I'm stuck here in between these
Shadows of my yesterday
I want to get away, I need to get away
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Now you know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
Oh God, I ain't got no other place to hide
Chained down
Like a sitting duck just waiting for the fall
You know, yeah
You've got my back against the wall
